Our observations

We observed several issues that led to the creation of Canaan Land:

Being a woman farmer in West Africa

According to the FAO, women make up for 60 to 80% of the agricultural workforce in Africa. However, their lack of means and knowledge results in a very low productivity and thus low and inconsistent incomes

The agriculture and the environment

75% of the deforestation that happened between 2000 and 2010 in Africa is due to agricultural activities. There is a need for a new, innovative and sustainable model of agriculture, one that does not imply environmental destruction.

An unused local potential

In 2017, Côte d'Ivoire alone imported around $70M worth of fruits and vegetables. The local supply is too low and lacks diversity despite a substantial potential in terms of soil quality, available surface area and workforce.

Our answer

Comprehensive support

Canaan Land offers a complete support service: training, logistical support, access to inputs and markets.
